SPECIES Episoriculus fumidus
| Author: | Thomas, 1913. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 11: 216. | | Common Name: | Taiwanese Brown-toothed Shrew | | Type Locality: | Taiwan, Chiai Hsien, "Mt. Arisan (= Alishan); Central Formosa. Alt. 8,000’ [2438 m]". | | Distribution: | Montane forests of Taiwan. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Soriculus fumidus. | | Comments: | Formerly included in caudatus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:59), but see Jameson and Jones (1977:474) and Hoffmann (1985b), who included sodalis (now in Chodsigoa) in fumidus. Motokawa et al. (1998) described the karyotype (2n = 64, FN = 116) and distribution of Episoriculus fumidus that occurs symatrically with Chodsigoa sodalis in Taiwan. A RNA sequence was published by Querouil et al. (2001) and Corneli (2002) under the name Soriculus fumidus. |
